Learning to rank (L2R) works by constructing a ranking model from training data so that, given unseen data (query), a somewhat similar ranking is produced. Almost all work in L2R focuses on ranking accuracy leaving performance and scalability overlooked. In this work we present a fast and scalable manycore (GPU) implementation for an on-demand L2R technique that builds ranking models on the fly. Our experiments show that we are able to process a query (build a model and rank) in only a few milliseconds, achieving a speedup of 508x over a serial baseline and 4x over a parallel baseline for the best case. We extend the implementation to work with multiple GPUs, further increasing the speedup over the parallel baseline to approximately x16 when using 4 GPUs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
